19 Pavakanga vari vashoma,

24 Zivisai kubwinya kwake pakati pendudzi,

25 Nokuti Jehovha mukuru uye anofanira kwazvo kurumbidzwa;

27 Kubwinya nokukudzwa zviri pamberi pake;

30 Dederai pamberi pake, imi nyika yose! Nyika yakasimbiswa kwazvo; haingazungunutswi.

31 Matenga ngaafare, nyika ngaifare; ngavati pakati pamarudzi, “Jehovha anotonga!”

32 Gungwa ngaritinhire nezvose zviri mariri;

33 Ipapo miti yesango ichaimba,

Ipapo vanhu vose vakati, “Ameni” uye vakarumbidza Jehovha.

37 Dhavhidhi akasiya Asafi navamwe vake pamberi peareka yesungano yaJehovha kuti ashumirepo nguva dzose maererano nezvaidiwa zuva rimwe nerimwe.

38 Akasiya Obhedhi-Edhomu navamwe vake makumi matanhatu navasere kuti vashumire navo. Obhedhi-Edhomu mwanakomana waJedhuruni naHosa vaiva vatariri vamasuo.

40 kuti vape zvipiriso zvinopiswa, kuna Jehovha paaritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa, nguva dzose, mangwanani namanheru maererano nezvose zvakanga zvakanyorwa muMurayiro waJehovha waakanga apa Israeri.

41 Pakati pavo paiva naHemani naJedhutuni navamwe vose vaiva vakasarudzwa namazita kuti vavonge Jehovha, “Nokuti rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”

42 Hemani naJedhutuni vaiva nebasa rokuridza hwamanda namakandira uye nokuridza zvimwe zviridzwa parwiyo rutsvene. Vanakomana vaJedhutuni vakaitwa vatariri vamasuo.

11 Kana mazuva ako akwana uye pauchaenda kundova namadzibaba ako, ndichasimudza mwana wako achakutevera paumambo, mumwe wavanakomana vako pachako uye ndichasimbisa umambo hwake.

12 Iyeye ndiye achandivakira imba, uye ndichasimbisa chigaro chake choumambo nokusingaperi.

13 Ndichava baba vake uye iye achava mwanakomana wangu. Handizobvisi rudo rwangu kwaari zvakare sokurubvisa kwandakaita kune akakutangira.

14 Ndichamugadza kuti atonge imba yangu noumambo hwangu nokusingaperi; chigaro chake chichasimbiswa nokusingaperi.’ ”

15 Natani akandotaura kuna Dhavhidhi mashoko ose echiratidzo chose ichi.

Munyengetero waDhavhidhi

16 Ipapo mambo Dhavhidhi akapinda akagara pamberi paMwari akati:
